History YMMV / Nigahiga

* FriendlyFandoms: There’s often an overlap between [=NigaHiga=] and WebVideo/{{SMOSH}} due to both being OG YouTubers who have been most subscribed during YouTube’s first years. They’ve been featured on each other’s channels many times and Ryan and Sean have been considered by many the Asian counterparts to Ian and Anthony. Sadly, fans have also noticed the channels have declined since the departures of Sean/Anthony.

* ValuesDissonance:
** "How to Be Emo" makes jokes about people getting pleasure from hurting themselves in ways like self-harm (one scene has the emo characters in a knife-fight where they stab themselves instead of each other), and makes emos out to look like obsessive masochists who either have zero emotion or are exhibiting the ComicalOverreacting trope. It was found hilarious at the time it was released in 2007, but has been scrutinized and criticized under new light in the coming years, which is why it has the most dislikes out of any of the old "How to be..." videos.
** While filming the remake of "How to Be Ninja", Ryan was well aware of this, as the original contained an offensive slur. It wasn't a good thing to say back then, but it's definitely not something they could get away with in 2016.
** Skitzo is a play on schizophrenia, which isn't something that would have flied in 2016, the year the last one was made. However, aside from being [[GrandfatherClause grandfathered in]], it doesn't actually make fun of schizophrenics to the point that some wouldn't have been able to connect the dots in the first place.

* {{TearJerker}}: As of September 1, 2018, Sean Fujiyoshi (Ryan's best friend and co-founder of the channel), [[https://youtu.be/jgkMFBDyzE8 has left RHPC to move to California]]. This comes as a '''huge''' tearjerker to longtime fans as for one, Sean was the last remaining member of Ryan's old Yabo crew to be part of RHPC. Coupled with the fact that [[https://youtu.be/ddOGCYRK_ok Anthony left Smosh]] just a year ago makes it feel like it's the EndOfAnEra for many.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: As his production values shot up, the special effects started looking so much better. One of the shining examples from 2013 that still holds up would be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Qv26IWyGU Candy Crush the Movie.]]

* FoeYay: PlayedForLaughs as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8RQd1csczU "Will You Fight Me?"]] can't tell if it's a Youtube fight or Romantic Drama

** As of [[https://youtu.be/_0Ind_OIsYs?t=2178 the fifth Off the Pill Podcast]], Ryan has confirmed that the two are together.

* HilariousInHindsight: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpv8lm1bRJk The Big Booty Trend!?]], a cutaway depicts Ryan and Sean ogling over a girl's collarbone. About three months later, a teenage girl was sent home from school because her outfit violated the school's dress code by showing her collarbones, believing it'll distract the male students. Can also be HarsherInHindsight.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Drugs makes you explode no matter the context

* ActorShipping: Many are fond of shipping him with his ''Agents of Secret Stuff'' co-star, Arden Cho, at least around the movie's release.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Many, but what really stands out is the entirety of the "how to be Gangster" and "How to be Emo"
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cciUXpITsu0&feature=feedu Honk for Japan]]. Going outside and donating $10 for each honk from the cars. Awww.
